They asked, "When will these events take place, and what will be the sign of their fulfillment?" Jesus answered them, "Be on guard and don't let any man fool you. Many will come shouting My Name and say 'I am Christ!', and will fool many people. When you hear news of war and false rumor about them, don't worry, because they must occur but will not be the end. Ethnic groups and nation-states will attack one another. Earthquakes will occur in many lands. Famine and chaos will rule. These are the beginnings of the birth-pains. So take care of yourselves. The masses will hand you over to the tribunals, you will be beaten in houses of worship, and be hauled before leaders and kings for My sake, to testify against them. The good news has to be published among all ethnic groups first. But when they drag you in or betray you, do not worry about what to say. In that hour, you will be given the words to say, because the Divine Guide will be speaking for you and through you. Brother will betray brother to his death, father to son, children will rebel against their parents, and shall sign their death warrants. And you will be hated by every man on account of My Name, but you will be saved if you endure to the end. And when you see the Abomination of Desolation standing where it shouldn't - let the reader understand - then everyone living in Judea must flee into the mountains. If you're standing on the housetop, don't go down or into the house to take anything out. |
